School spirit is right up their street in Rock Falls

Sept. 13, 2018

What does it take to fuel a Rocket’s school spirit? A homecoming parade, and Rock Falls high-schoolers were full of spirit Thursday as they took their parade to streets ahead of homecoming weekend. On Friday, the Rockets take on Stillman Valley in a home game, and on Saturday, the school’s homecoming dance starts at 8 p.m.
